FOR TWO STATES.

Emphatic Declaration at the Polls
Views of o N0rthern Newspaper
Cause and Effect.
Grand Forks Herald: The object of
the popular vote on the question of di-
vision has been accomplished. The wish
of the people has been expressed. Their
voice has been heard. The diYisionists
have carried the territory by ss large q
meiority as the democrats have secured
in the state of New York, 1t can no
longer be SAID that the wish of the peo-
pie is not known. They have formally
declared their desire in the matter.
Ihe friends OF division may congratulate
themselves on the result, not alone in
the majoriry that they have secured, but
in the support which the measure has
received among the voters in the coun-
ties where the merits of the case have
been discussed and understood. In the
south, where division has been the lead
ing issue for years, where the people
have ratified state constitution, framed
on the basis of division ON the forty
sixth parallel, where the discussion has
been thorough end exhaustive, in short,
where the people have understood the
question, there they are solid for division,
So, also, throughout the north, in the
counties where the people have given
the question consideration, division has
received large msiorities. Aside from
the local papers, the only work that WAS
done for the measure was the canvass
made by Hon. Waldo NJ. Potter and
Hon. johnson Niekeus. To MIR. Pottel
more than to any other man ..he friends
Of division are indebted for an able and
comprehensive presentation OF the ad-
vantGges that will accrue to North Dako.

deed they were incontrovertible. A,
sacrifice OF private business interests and
and personal convenience, Mr.. Eattel
tdevoted himself to this public discussion
and too much honor can not be ascribed
to his efforts. At his own home. the
clesrness OF the truth of his position
went far toward overcoming the opposi-
tion that worked through preiudicei
engendered by previous local issues

by the newspapers that am o yonng

connection, and while modesty forbids
me TO tell how good president l would

A Chronic Tendency Overcome.

Many persons are troubled with a chronic
tendency to constipation. They are of bilious
temperament The complaint to which they
are subject, though easily remediable by
iudicious treatment, is, in many cases aggra-
waited by resort to drastic purgatiyes and
chulagogues, As the human stomach and
bowels are lined with a delicate mem brane,
and not with vuieanite, they cannot stand pro-
longed drenching with such medicines without
serious injury. Nothing restores and counter
acts an habitnal tendency to constipation so
effectually as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1es
laxative effect is gentle and progressive. 1t
neither cOnyulses weakens the intestines
and its effects are unaccompanied by gripping
pains. 1t srouses the liver when the organ Is
slugglish, promotes digestion, and encourage
appetite and sleep, For fever and aguc, kid
ney troubles, nervous complaints and incipient
rheuma matism. it is inoon nparable. Take wine
glass before meals and see now soon you will
relish them

Blaine's return to the United States is
arranged TO occur on the 20th OF next
June, via Japan and San Francisco, and
he will remain in California until after
the presidential nomination on the re-
publican sids. One of the authors OF
the programme says:
The Maine statesman will be nemin.
ated practically without opposition. His
presence in California will, it lis believed,
create SO great furore as to insure him
the solid vote Of the Pacific slope. His
jeurney across the continent will be, ac.
cording to the present programme, the
greatest ovation ever accorded to an
American statesman, not excepting that
of Gen. Grant in 1879. Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Ohio and New York
will be visited by him en- route to his
home in Augusta, Maine.
Everything ssems to be arranged up

Congressman Springer is against the
proposition to- split Dakota into two
statee, and, on second thought, is against
the proposition to make one state of
Dakota. He is down on Dakota all
around and says 600. 900 Dakotaians
should not be granted equal voice and
influence with 5000 ,0o0 New Yorkers or
100000 residents of Illinois. Mr..
Springer, then, does not believe in the
constitution and the ordinance of 1887.
Mr. Spriager's own state, Illinois, came
directly under the provisions OF the
ordinance OF 1897, being portion of
the Northwest territory, and it went in.
to the union before it had even complied
with the liberal requirements OF that
ordinance, which stipulates that state
admitted to the union shall have popu-
lation of.60,000. Illinois was admitted
in 1918. In 1Sl0its population was 49,
2S2 and in 1920 it was 55,211. The pro-
liability Is that il had not more than
10000 people at the time it was admitted
to statehood aid given equal voice and
influence with Nsw York. Mr.. Springer,
Lift he j was fair man instead OF
q consciencelesa politician, would con-
slider that Dakota is now, politically
speaking, where Illinois was prior to
1918 and that ii contains fifteen times as
many people as illinois contained when
its rights under the constitution and the
ordinance Of 1887 were recognized. In
wealth, resources and developsment a
single Dakota county can be furnished
which will show as much as all of Hi
nois possessed in 1878. Mr.. Springer'f
own state Of Illinois is 10000 square
miles smaller than half of Dakota anG
1000 square miles smaller than al
OF Dakota. These care figures whicI
the gentlemen from Illinois will turs
aside from and will refuse TO consider
| He will not contemplate the Dakota cas-,
as Statesman Springer, but as Bill
Springer, partisan OF the deepest dy,
and poor apologist for representativ,
of the constitution and the laws. Bill
Springer will SIT in congress this winte
and an appeal to him will be an appes
to arrant prejudice and nothing more.

ers, voted for division. In others the
question was suppressed; the people
were not informed and the vote was
largely against. Itis very noticeable.
that the advocates of the one big state
idea, instead Of attempting to refute the
facts and figures which were presented
by the diyisIonists, studiousIy reirainsd
from discussing the q uestion and ignored
the issue altogether. The result in the
two counties Of Oass and Grand Forks,
illustrates the truth OF these observa-
tions. The Fargo papers gave no
assistance to the division cause, atfemp-
ted no answer to the arguments of its
friends, excluded the subject from their
columns, and gave their readers no IN
formation: and Oass county gave large
majority against division. In
this county, the reasons for
division have been published
TO the voters through the columns
of the Larimore Pioneer and OF the
Herald. Our worthy contemporary, early
III the campaign discussed the issue in all
its bearings and the favorable vote in the
west part OF the county shows the result.
The Herald regards admission as one
state SIS nothing short of calamity
which every far-sighted and patriotic
citizen should seek to avert. It has
Earnestly and conaoientiousIy given its
reasons for the faith that is in it. Stand.
ling alone among the journals OF this city
as the champion of division, it has re-
ceiyed tbs eonnrendation of the friends
of that measure. And now in view OF the
handsome majority by which the voters
of this county have declared for division,
the Herald modestIy assumes to itself
the honor due to its iabors in this regard
aud congratulases the voters OF Grand
Forks county and the territory of OAK

people has declared for the early adj
miasionof two states into the American
